How Does Diminishing Return Work in Ragnarok Online? 🔎

• The law of diminishing marginal returns states that, at some point, adding more of a particular input (such as stat points or resources) will result in progressively smaller increases in output (such as damage or effectiveness).

In simpler terms: "Too much of something can be counterproductive, leading to higher costs and reduced effectiveness."

This concept becomes clear when applied to Ragnarok Online, where the following examples are commonly experienced by all players:

Raising Stats (Str, Agi, Vit, Int, Dex, Luk)

• Raising a stat from 1-10 (Output) costs 2 points (Factor of Production).
• Raising a stat from 81-90 (Output) costs 10 points (Factor of Production).
• Raising a stat from 126-130 (Output) costs 36 points (Factor of Production).

As you continue to raise the same stat, you will need to allocate more and more points (factor of production) to gain just one more point in the stat (output). This is a clear example of how diminishing returns work in Ragnarok Online.

• Whether 1 additional point in the 126-130 range is more valuable than 1 point in the 1-10 range depends on your individual goals. However, if you decide to invest in gear that boosts another stat, that's also a viable option.
